Patent number: 10843657Abstract: A seat belt buckle tongue (1) with a tongue body (3) extending in the direction of plug-in (2), in which a strap slot (4) is formed for the passage of a strap (5), and a deflection element (6) movably the tongue body (3), The strap (5), in an unloaded passage position of the deflection element (6), is movable through the strap slot (4), and is at least prevented from moving by the deflection element (6) in the loading position of the deflection element (6) induced by a tensile force to the strap (5). The deflection element (6) is movable from the passage position into the loading position with a constriction portion (18) along the contact surface (19) of the tongue body (3), so that the strap (5) in the loading position with a strap portion is flat in contact with both the contact surface (19) of the tongue body (3) and with the constriction portion (18) of the deflection element (6).Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: AUTOLIV DEVELOPMENT ABInventors: Inga Krambeck, Hans-Jörg Cord, Michel Hermann, Martin Grikschat

Patent number: 10442394Abstract: A belt tongue (1) having a tongue body (3) extending in an insertion direction (2), a clamping element (4) in the tongue body such that a belt strap (7) guided through a cavity (5) in the tongue body (3) and running through a gap (6) can be moved through the tongue body (3) in an unstressed free-running position and, in a stressed position brought about by a tensile force in the belt strap (7), is clamped on a clamping edge (8) of the cavity (5) by the clamping element (4) that is pivotally mounted in the tongue body (3). A pre-tensioning device exerts a retractive force on the clamping element (4), at least in the stressed position, the force being oriented in the direction of the free-running position of the clamping element (4). The pre-tensioning device is a torsion bar (13) that is non-rotatably secured in the tongue body (3) and non-rotatably connected to the clamping element (4).Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: AUTOLIV DEVELOPMENT ABInventors: Michel Hermann, Martin Grikschat, Inga Krambeck, Hans-Jörg Cord

Publication number: 20170297528Abstract: A belt tongue having a tongue body, a clamping element in the tongue body, a belt webbing guided through a cavity in the tongue body and running through a gap between the clamping element and the tongue body. The belt webbing can be moved though the tongue body in an unstressed position and, in a stressed position is brought about by a tensile force on the belt webbing, is clamped on a clamping edge of the cavity by the clamping element that is pivotally mounted in the tongue. Laterally to the clamping element, guide sections are arranged, between which the belt webbing runs, so that the belt webbing in the lateral region of the cavity does not go between the clamping element and the tongue body. The cavity forms cavities laterally from the clamping edge.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2015Publication date: October 19, 2017Inventors: Michel Hermann, Martin Grikschat, Inga Krambeck, Hans-Jörg Cord

Patent number: 7581758Abstract: A guide loop for a seat belt in motor vehicles, comprising a one-piece metal body a cladding part and a displacement body. The metal body includes a fixing eye and a belt guidance slit and a rounded running surface. The a cladding part is made of plastic and held onto the metal body, and the displacement body limits the slit height of the belt guidance slit, through which webbing of the seat belt runs. The cladding part is formed as a one piece body with edge areas that at least partially enclose the metal body is firmly secured to the metal body by means of tension applied by the edge areas onto the metal body.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2004Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Michael Dürrer, Hans-Jörg Cord

Patent number: 7416217Abstract: A guide loop for a safety belt on motor vehicles, including a guide element provided with a guide slit for the safety belt, which is fixed to a vehicle by means of a fixing screw, and an adapter with a displacement body for limiting the slit width of the guide slit. The adapter is coupled to the inside of the fixing hole of the guide element and includes an opening penetrated by the fixing screw inserted through the fixing hole. The fixing hole of is formed by a boring, with a cross-section slightly larger than the external diameter of the screw in order to maximize the overlap between a bearing surface of the guide element and a head of the fixing screw. In addition, a number of grooves are distributed around the boring's circumference. When the adapter is mounted, the grooves accept fixing arms of the adapter.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2004Date of Patent: August 26, 2008Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Hans-Jörg Cord, Knut Janzen
